Default mercenaries 2 - ps3

have been looking forward to it since it was announced, being a massive fan of the orignal i thought this one HAS to be better.
playing the first mission bored me to death!! the graphics are certainly not next gen, characters are poor and slow and the destruction is no where near as satisfying or as fun as battlefield bad company, my character couldnt even run through a bush next to a building
i feel lucky though as i was going to go out today and buy it but luckily the game arrived from swapgame rental place this morning
i would deffo recommend u rent it before buying, or just buy bad company, a hundred times better

I didn't bother with it myself. I read the reviews first

But Bad Company is a completely different game type.
Yes i agree that the 'can't run through bushes' is a bit poor.
Enemy AI is a bit odd at sometimes

i've played it through about 43% and you get plenty of mental destruction.
Picking up a mate in his tank whilst i'm flying a chopper and he is still firing blowing the crap out of stuff is awesome.
Airstrikes, artillery barrages ,cluster bombs do make a serious mess of most things.

Don't be - Try the demo. Another utter waste of the license.

bad company is actually pretty dam good imo

the demos were crap, the full game is loads better, just finished the single player campaign yesterday, the ai is crap, but the banter between the 4 main characters is amusing.

multiplayer is awesome

Lol saw the advert on TV and it made me chuckle. Shame the game doesnt appear to live up to it
